Panacur

[aurucis]

Hi, monday, I brought Vulkan to the vet, she checked him out as healthy and inshape, but says he probably has pinworms or something similar, and have me a .08 mL dose of panacur. He wieghs I think 2 kilograms? Does that sound right for a around 12 inch long Beardie? She did't measure him in grams as the number on the scale was 2. Do you think this is a safe dose, and do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,

No that doesn't sound right. At 2 kilograms, he weighs 4.5 pounds which I highly doubt.
If he was not weighed in grams, it was most likely ounces. Can you post a picture of him? I will help you dose him, but at 12 inches, it is highly unlikely it was kilograms, because that is alot of weight!
At 2 ounces, he weighs .05 kilograms which sounds more reasonable to me.
I can redose it for you if you want. At 2 ounces it would be .03 dosed at 50mg/kg of bodyweight. So I think the dose is a little high for him.
Maybe you should call the vet to ask what the weight was to doublecheck it.
